Smart Building Monitoring Solution

Using various smart sensors that continuously measure for risk factors

Many entrepreneurs underestimate the potential disruptions to business continuity, leading to significant losses in revenue when facing major setbacks. When a business has to temporarily close for reconstruction, regular customers often find alternatives in the meantime. Additionally, fixed costs (such as rent, staff salaries, and ongoing contracts with suppliers) will persist. 

Our Smart Building Monitoring Solution provides businesses in many sectors with real-time monitoring of environmental risks, such as overheating, smoke development, energy consumption, water detection, and air quality. Our solution enables proactive prevention of damage, water leakage and fires. By using sensors that continuously collect data, organisations can receive timely alerts and take preventive measures to protect their business and property.

Riskmanagement and automation in many companies and buildings

Our Smart Building Monitoring Solution monitors power and energy use, water leaks, detects potential fire (risks) in buildings and businesses.  The sensors communicate via a reliable wireless network that transmits data in real-time to the cloud. Alerts, real-time statistics, historical data and trends for safety, energy use, air quality and water detection are all in the dashboard.

Real-time monitoring of building conditions

The Smart Building Monitoring Solution provides a LoRaWAN®-based system for real-time monitoring of building conditions, tracking key parameters like temperature, CO2, humidity, and air quality. 

Data is securely transmitted to "The Things Stack" server, which integrates with IoT platforms like MQTT, AWS IoT Core, and Azure IoT for customizable dashboards. With reliable backend storage, this solution empowers building managers to improve safety, optimize energy use, and enhance indoor air quality, making it ideal for smart building applications. It for instance also offers early warnings for fire risks and potential leaks, enhancing building safety.

The sensors in the Smart Building Monitoring Solution 

Depending on the technical installation or room and, in particular, exactly which unit is to be measured, our technical experts have put together a map of gateways and various sensors for each unit for this solution. Think of:

• P1 (energy) sensors
• Single and dual temperature sensors
• Current sensors
• CO2 sensors
• (Door) contact sensors
• Gateways

The sensors in are wireless, multifunctional and easy to install, ensuring minimal disruption to existing infrastructures. They combine multiple functions such as fire detection, air quality, temperature and energy consumption, with high sensitivity and accuracy for real-time monitoring. Thanks to their energy-efficient design and long battery life, they require little maintenance, while their robust construction makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The sensors integrate seamlessly with existing building management systems and IoT platforms, providing reliable and cost-effective solutions for smart buildings.

Connectivity and communication

The Althen Smart Building Monitoring Solution leverages robust connectivity and communication through a LoRaWAN®-based infrastructure, ensuring long-range, low-power data transmission across the entire building. Equipped with advanced sensors, the solution collects data on key metrics like temperature, CO2 levels, and humidity, transmitting it to a central gateway.

From there, data is relayed to "The Things Stack" network server, which integrates seamlessly with major IoT platforms, including MQTT, AWS IoT Core, and Azure IoT. This versatile connectivity not only enables real-time monitoring and instant alerts but also allows for flexible integration with custom dashboards and third-party applications, ensuring that building managers have continuous, reliable access to critical data for optimized building operations.
